Dataiku is an artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning enterprise with roots in both France and the United States, established in Paris in 2013. The company achieved unicorn status in December 2019 after CapitalG, the growth-stage venture capital arm of Alphabet Inc., invested in it. By 2021, Dataiku's valuation had reached $4.6 billion. The workforce exceeds 1,000 employees worldwide, with offices located in New York, Denver, Washington DC, Los Angeles, Paris, London, Munich, Frankfurt, Sydney, Singapore, Tokyo, and Dubai.
History
Founded in Paris in 2013 by Florian Douetteau, Clément Stenac, Thomas Cabrol, and Marc Batty, Dataiku expanded its presence to the United States by opening a New York City office in 2015.
The company’s initial capital injection was $3.6 million from French venture capital firms Serena Capital and Alven Capital in January 2015. In October 2016, Dataiku raised $14 million through a round led by FirstMark Capital. This was followed by a $28 million Series B funding round in September 2017 spearheaded by Battery Ventures.
December 2018 marked a significant milestone when Dataiku obtained $101 million during its Series C financing led by ICONIQ Capital, with participation from returning investors such as Alven Capital and Battery Ventures.
After launching Dataiku 6 in December 2019, CapitalG purchased shares from Serena Capital during a secondary transaction that valued the company at $1.4 billion.
In August 2020, Dataiku secured $100 million through a Series D round led by Stripes and Tiger Global Management alongside continued backing from prior investors. Although the exact valuation was not disclosed at that time, the company retained its unicorn designation.
Dataiku further expanded its funding in August 2021 by closing a $400 million Series E round led by Tiger Global Management, which boosted its valuation to $4.6 billion.
Most recently, in December 2022, the company announced a $200 million Series F funding round with Wellington Management joining as a new lead investor.
